My friend Mike’s guitar, a classy subject.

Scanned the negative and then got rid of the dust from the scanner in Photoshop. I think once I get rid of the dust problems, the scanner will be a great investment.

Here is the one scanned by the camera shop.

My mother gave this to me in 2007, as she said she never plays it and needs the space! I have very little information on this guitar, other than that it is genuinely Spanish, probably dates from the 1970s, really needs restringing…

…and has a proud place in my musical history, as on the 4th March 1987 I sat down with a Mick Abrahams tutor record and this instrument, and learned my very first guitar chords.

I’m definitely going to record something with this one day.

(Update (March 2008)): Since I wrote the above notes, I have used this guitar on two recordings: backing tracks for my wife’s musical activity sessions for children ("Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "I Can Sing A Rainbow"). It records nicely, though I don’t think I’ve got the EQ quite right yet when mixing.

Guitar Workshop Strat
guitar

Image by rockheim
Denne spesialbygde gitaren fra Guitar Workshop var et eneste stort eksperiment for gitarmakerne og for gitarist Jon Eberson. Gitaren har en utforming som minner om en klassisk Fender Stratocaster, men med dråpeformet plekterbrett. Kroppen er laget i gran fra Moelv. Gitarhalsen er i lønn, med ibenholt gripebrett.
Jon Eberson: «Chopper», Stash (1986)
.Den helnorske gitaren fra norske Guitar Workshop ble bygget til Jon Eberson tidlig på 1980-tallet. Gitaren er blitt modifisert flere ganger, blant annet med skredersydde pick-uper der mikrofonen med diagonale spoler nærmest halsen er uvanlig.

Låteks: Jon Eberson & Sidsel Endresen: «Big Brother», Pigs and Poetry (1987)
”Om vi ikke fant bra nok gitarer bygget vi dem selv – så fikk vi dem som vi og kunden ville ha dem!” – Guitar Workshop
Jon Eberson Group: «Freedom», Jive Talking (1980)

Jon Eberson brukte gitaren fra Guitar Workshop gjennom store deler av 1980-tallet. Den kan høres i blant annet samarbeidsprosjektene med Sidsel Endresen, som på albumet Jive Talking fra 1980.
